This generation everyone went big into the live service games, Sony especially. That coupled with the woke virus, burn out and over saturation of live service, and microstransactions has been a disaster this generation. Hopefully we will see a return to what made gaming great and the industry takes notice that the real majority of gamers will reject the social experiments and the companies will suffer financially for it. Let's hope anyways. Sadly, I don't think microstransactions are going anywhere.
